Atlantic City is getting its groove back – with MGM Mirage unveiling a new $5 billion super resort that will rival any of Las Vegas’ glitzy palaces.

MGM’s new venture will rise in the city’s once sleepy marina area, which overnight has become the new hotspot for reviving the languishing fortunes of Atlantic City’s 11 casinos.

“This is going to put Atlantic City over the top,” said gaming analyst Roger Gros, publisher of Global Gaming Business.

The swank Borgata Hotel & Casino, which MGM co-owns with Boyd Gaming, has recently opened in the marina district, as did Harrah’s new resort, which features a huge dome-covered swimming pool billed as the largest covered pool on the East Coast.

The projects also have new shopping and entertainment corridors on the largest scale ever seen in Atlantic City.

“The marina area is going to give Atlantic City a very bright future again,” Gros said.

Donald Trump, who owns the Trump Marina Casino and Hotel on 17 acres, as well as the 800-slip marina itself, is expected to cash in on the new gold rush for marina action.

The deep-water marina also allows cruise ships as long as 300 feet to make pleasure stops at the newly emerging destinations.

Industry sources say Trump is working on a deal to sell his three casinos, including the Trump Marina casino, to a group including Baltimore resort developer David Cordish, for a price north of $2 billion.

Trump had no comment on any discussions. Cordish didn’t return calls.

Analysts said other casino developers have expressed an interest in building a fourth mega-casino resort in the marina strip in joint ventures with private-equity firms. The deals involve the acquisition of Trump’s 17-acre marina site plus an adjacent 14 acres currently owned by MGM Mirage.

Meanwhile, MGM said its new resort will rise on 72 acres in the marina area, next to the Borgata.

The new casino will have the largest casino floor in town, with 5,000 slot machines, 200 table games and a large suite for poker. It includes a 1,500-seat theater, restaurants, nightclubs, private condos and 500,000-square-feet of shopping space, plus a sprawling convention hall.
